KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Westerly

  • Car rentals in Westerly, Rhode Island, are the easiest and most convenient way to discover everything this coastal city has to offer. While there are several Amtrak stations across town, they do not reach all the points of interest that Westerly has to offer. As a result, car rentals in Westerly will allow you to explore Westerly and its surrounding areas at your own pace. For example, you could visit Atlantic Beach Park, Watch Hill Lighthouse, and Napatree Point Conservation Area in your Westerly car rentals.
  • Those flying to Westerly will land at Groton-New London Airport (GON) just across the border in Connecticut. You will be delighted to learn that you can pick up car rentals in Westerly directly from here. You will find the car rental desks directly within the airport terminal in the arrivals area near the baggage claim. You will be served by nationally recognized agencies like Budget and Avis. Otherwise, you might be flying into Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Hartford. Here, the car rentals are also located directly adjacent to Terminal A.
  • Driving car rentals in Westerly is pretty straightforward. The roads are in good condition and road users are generally friendly and respectful, adhering to traffic rules and laws. You may encounter some unpaved roads along the coastline in Westerly, and it is also a good idea to watch out for pedestrians and cyclists in this area, as many people come to enjoy the coastline views.
  • Driving Westerly car rentals can be more challenging during rush hours, typically from 6 am to 8 am and again from 4 pm to 6 pm. The roads most affected by this rush include Highway 1 and Highway 78. In addition, this area can be subject to severe winter weather. If you are renting a car here during the winter, be sure to check the road reports if it has been snowing as you may encounter icy conditions.

I think I'll avoid electric cars for a while longer. Trying to charge that car prior to its return was a challenge. I don't believe we as a country already to go all electric yet.

Everything was fine but the car smelled of cigarettes. And I had no option to select a preferred car that was available like most car rental agencies do.

Pros:

The rental car was a perfect choice.

Cons:

Dropping off of the vehicle was not what I have experienced with other rentals. The lady at the pick-up and drop off was not the most helpful at all. Could have assisted me in a better way and also when I called the 1-800 number agent could have been a better representative of your company. With out going into this further I probably will select a different company.

Car had a hole in the tire, so I had to drive the whole way on a flat tire. Also, the rental center was closed when I got there. I returned the rental to their 24 hour center instead, and they charged me $200.
